Le Pen, Orbán and Meloni rail against socialism and ‘massive illegal migration’ at ‘great patriotic convention’ in Madrid

International far-right leaders, including France’s Marine Le Pen, Hungary’s Viktor Orbán, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni and Argentina’s Javier Milei, came together in Madrid to rail against socialism and “massive illegal migration” three weeks before hard-right parties are expected to see a surge in support in June’s European elections.

Sunday’s “great patriotic convention”, which was organised by Spain’s far-right Vox party, offered conservatives and far-right populists a chance to congregate and take aim at a variety of familiar targets, from the welfare state to “wokeness” and the agendas of Brussels-based bureaucrats.

The event was also attended by Amichai Chikli, Israel’s minister for diaspora affairs and combating antisemitism, André Ventura, the leader of Portugal’s far-right Chega party, and the Chilean far-right leader José Antonio Kast.

    Meanwhile orban bringing MANY immigrants to hungary, intentionally

    He should’ve learned from the Netherlands. Right wing made claims about asylum seekers. While showing immigration figures.

    In Netherlands immigration is not due to asylum seekers. Immigration consist of students and knowledge workers.

    Anyway, they said there was a huge issue with reuniting families of asylum seekers. There wasn’t an issue, it was just claimed.

    Netherlands now have a radical right wing government. Based off of untrue statements. They’re planning to save loads of money, just need the EU to make those happen. Meaning, it won’t happen. Obvious plan is to blame the EU for things which are predictable.
